Review of The Mysterious Doctor

Beginning with a truly stunning image- what appears to be a headless corpse walking along the foggy moors, this is a neat little wartime thriller about the weird goings on in a small English village that has had the local tin mine shut down because of weird visions-headless visions- and the tragedies that strike those who go in the mine. ASolidly enjoyable hour long film this has mood to burn. As my friend Lou says about the film "it has everything you'd put on a list of things you need for a great 'old dark house film'". I agree. While the film isn't perfect, the mood has to be shifted to one side because there is, after all a plot, its still a great film to watch on a dark and stormy night or late at night curled up under the covers.
